On Thursday, September 18, SYAAT hosted a successful webinar on Security in SAP Goes Beyond Roles and Profiles, where our experts shared insights, real cases, and best practices:
- Francisco Mata – SAP Security Expert
- Víctor Granados – GRC Expert
- Rodrigo Hernández – Operations Director, SYAAT
The strong participation and interest from attendees confirmed that this is a priority topic for companies that seek to run their SAP systems with security, compliance, and confidence.
Why is GRC critical today?
In today’s business world, where technology and security are indispensable, Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) must be understood as a shared responsibility across the entire organization:
- Management and compliance
- Process owners
- End users
- IT and security teams
Poor access management can allow critical transactions to be executed without control, such as creating purchase orders or recording goods receipts, leading to fraud, false liabilities, or hidden accesses that put operations at risk.
Benefits of effective access and role management
Implementing a solid GRC model in SAP enables organizations to:
- Reduce risks and ensure compliance with international regulations (SOX, GDPR, ISO).
- Ensure auditable, reliable, and transparent processes.
- Generate access reports in minutes with evidence of periodic reviews.
- Automate role and access management with agile approvals.
- Detect segregation of duties conflicts before they occur.
- Optimize roles by eliminating unnecessary, duplicate, or oversized accesses.
Real case and applied technologies
During the webinar, Víctor Granados presented the Security SAP Monitor (SSM) tool, which allows organizations to obtain clear diagnostics through dashboards displaying:
- Risk classification
- Segregation of duties conflicts
- Applied rules
- Preventive controls through simulations
This provides organizations with the ability to measure their risks and make informed decisions to strengthen internal controls.
